The tale is told in the shade of the tor…

[fa:p:id=307331644,j=r,s=s,l=p] I spent some time this Sunday, at dusk, taking some shots of the sunset. I’d been trying to catch the sunset for most of the long weekend because I wanted to get a nice backlit shot of the skeletal trees on our hill for the new site design I’m working on. It ended up being such a beautiful sunset, that I touched this one up and posted it. It also ended up being the perfect shot for what I was going for in my site design. See bellow the same shot, with the addition of a drawn crow, turned into a header background. The final image will be bigger, of course.

I had a great Thanksgiving. It was spent with my wife and son at my mom and dad’s with the rest of the family and, as is my custom, I ate way too much and talked way too loud. My cousin came up from South Carolina with her husband and two kids and it was great seeing them as well. Also, miracle of miracles, my youngest niece seems to have finally warmed up to me. It might have been because I stopped making scary faces at her, or it could have been because I shared my pie with her. Hmmm.

Tonight there will be fencing. It seems like I haven’t been getting nearly enough fencing these days. Stupid holidays and business travel!
